Condition: Used, Excellent

We cannot get enough of the Waterloo Jumbo King! A true staff favorite whenever one passes through. The vintage appointments, full bodied sound, and soft semi gloss finish make us sad to see these go (though we're ecstatic for the buyer).  We've yet to see one in the East Indian Rosewood like this and are loving the extra boost to the bass register and a bit more top shimmer the back/sides offer. The deluxe adds icing to the cake that'll make your heart throb whenever you pick this up, and unable to put it down. For a vintage experience with great style and sound, the Jumbo King sits on the throne!

SP Luthier Notes: Fretwork, Setup Confirmed

Full-bodied in both tone and stature, the aptly nicknamed "Jumbo King” is the largest size offering in the Waterloo line and a modern day tribute to jumbo-sized guitars of the early 1940s. Originally manufactured by Regal for the mail-order enterprise Montgomery Ward, this slope-shoulder body size was designed to provide performers of the era with enough volume and power for professional radio work. The WL-JK accomplishes this and more by employing a full five-inch body depth and a slightly narrow waist to enhance both the bass and treble response.

The WL-JK is available in a minimally appointed “standard” version as well as a “deluxe” version featuring added bindings, true-to-era "valve cover" tuners, and a full-body sunburst finish. Both models utilize vintage inspired x-bracing and prominent v-shaped necks with fully adjustable truss rods. These models are also available with optional East Indian rosewood back and sides, as well as an optional Aged Finish for an authentic time-worn appearance. Hardshell TKL case included.

All Waterloo models are handmade in Austin, Texas.
